Question

Raj was born two years after his father’s marriage. His mother is five years younger than his father but 20 years older than Raj who is 10 years old. At what age did the father get married?


A. 33 years
B. 37 years
C. 30 years
D. 23 years


Answer: D

Solution:

Raj’s present age = 10 years.

His mother’s present age = (10 + 20) years

= 30 years

Raj’s father’s present age = (30 + 5) years

= 35 years

Raj’s father’s age at the time of Raj’s birth = (35 – 10)

= 25 years

Raj’s father’s age at the time of marriage = (25 – 2) years

= 23 years
